Note

Before buying mangoes, sniff them; they should have a pleasant, sweet aroma to ensure ripeness.

For the bubbles, choose a not-too-sweet sparkling wine, such as a French Crémant de Bourgogne or an Italian Prosecco.

For a nonalcoholic version, mix the mango puree with ginger ale instead of sparkling wine.

The mango puree and garnish can be prepared up to 8 hours ahead. Store them in separate covered containers in the refrigerator.
